You might want to bump the MAXUSERS option of your kernel, and recompile. If you only hit the file descriptor limit, tweaking the following sysctls might get you where you want. kern.maxfiles: 2048 kern.maxfilesperproc: 2048 If you change these with a command like: # sysctl -w kern.maxfiles=2048 then you might also find it useful to store their new values in /etc/sysctl.conf so that they will be set to these new values upon the next system boot too. Do it now, do not wait until the next reboot, because you might not remember this change when the system boots :) - giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
